Line #9 Recap/PhineasAndFerbLaCandaceCabra


1	The boys set out to prove the existence of the elusive Chupacabra (Goat Sucker) to the world, but Candace can't stand the wait and first just needs to prove it to Mom.
2	!!Tropes
3	* BorrowedCatchphrase: Buford fills in for an absent Isabella, so he says "Whatcha doin'?"
4	* CameraObscurer: The boys capture a chupacabra, but it escapes with help from Perry. When they look back at the pictures they took of it, none show the full chupacabra, and some show a thumb covering the phone camera lens.
5	-->'''Ferb''': Well, I guess perhaps the universe wants some things left un-photographed. Like Chupacabras, or... [[TakeThat group photos where everyone has their eyes open.]]
6	* ContinuityNod:
7	** Phineas initially dismisses El Chupacabra as a myth like [[Recap/PhineasAndFerbSummerBelongsToYou Klimpaloon, the magical old-timey bathing suit that lives in the Himalayas]] and [[Recap/PhineasAndFerbTheLakeNoseMonster the Lake Nose Monster]], both of whom, Baljeet points out, the two of them have proven to be true.
8	** It is mentioned that Linda is taking gourmet cooking classes. ("[[Recap/PhineasAndFerbIScreamYouScream I Scream, You Scream]]", "[[Recap/PhineasAndFerbItsAMudMudMudMudWorld It's a Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud World]]")
9	* ContinuityCavalcade: While going through her wardrobe, Candace mentions the events of "[[Recap/PhineasAndFerbDayOfTheLivingGelatin Day of the Living Gelatin]]", "[[Recap/PhineasAndFerbSplitPersonality Split Personality]]" and "[[Recap/PhineasAndFerbTheChroniclesOfMeap The Chronicles of Meap]]".
10	* CryptidEpisode: The episode is about the boys wanting to discover the Chupacabra.
11	* TheFaceless: We never get a full look at what El Chupacabra looks like, as it is always obscured by smoke or something else.
12	* FantasticRacism: Monogram and the agents of OWCA have been requested to attend an Animal Sensitivity training class, but the agents are then dismissed to their missions. Monogram immediately asks if today is "Pick on a Higher Species Day", thus explaining why he's the only one now attending the class.
13	* GratuitousSpanish: Doof calls Perry ''"Señor Pantalones Inteligente"'', which is "Mr. Smarty Pants" in Spanish.
14	* InstantCostumeChange: During the fight on Doof's bi-plane, there are a few visual gags as the plane appears and disappears in the frame. At one point, Perry and Doof are suddenly playing badminton, then they are fly-fishing, then they are somehow changed into a father teaching his son how to ride a bike, then Perry is blowing the candles of his birthday cake and Doof asks him what he wished for, and finally, their fight resumes, making Doof question if ''that'' is what he wished for.
15	* LimitedWardrobe: Candace claims that everything in her wardrobe is jinxed, despite the fact that everything in her wardrobe looks like the same red top and white skirt she always wears.
16	* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: When Phineas and Ferb's invention observes Candace, it marks off the traits of a chupacabra, such as rooting (she is going through her clothes), sniffing (she sniffs some perfume), and having a long neck, but since she does not live in the desert, she is ''not'' chupacabra. Then Candace somehow feels as if someone is "judging" her.
17	-->'''Candace''': Phineas and Ferb, you are so busted... for something!
18	* RedHerring: The title of "La Candace-Cabra" seems to imply that Candace would be mistaken for a chupacabra and there's even a gag early in the episode showing that she shares certain characteristics with the creature. Such a mix-up never occurs.
19	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When she sees that Candace is preoccupied with busting her brothers, Stacy leaves.
20	-->'''Stacy''': Sooo... since you're in busting mode, I take it, my services are not required? ''({{Beat}})'' Yep, I'm superfluous.
21	* SensitivityTraining: Major Monogram has to attend an Animal Sensitivity training class when he shows FantasticRacism against animals.
22	* StealthPun: Buford dresses up as a goat to bait the Chupacabra; [[spoiler:he's a bully goat. Get it?]]
23	* UnfortunateName: Doof has invented a new hair tonic. He thinks it's a clever name, too. What is it called? "Get Back Hair".
24	* UnusualEuphemism: When Buford's great-grandfather sees ''el chupacabra'', he cries out, "What in the Sam Hill?", a minced oath for "What in the hell?"
25	* WholesomeCrossdresser: Buford fills in for Isabella, even down to dressing like her.
26	-->'''Baljeet''': The dress was all ''his'' idea, though.
27	-->'''Buford''': Hey, I got the legs for it!
28	* WritingLines: As part of his Animal Sensitivity training, Major Monogram has been forced to write "Animals are people too" many times on a chalkboard.
29	* WrittenInAbsence: Isabella is not in this episode, and it is explained that she is visiting her grandparents in New Mexico.
